Windowblinds 3 featured on XP Cataloge

Thursday, October 25, 2001 by mormegil | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Just installed fresh copy of XP Pro and went to the new Windows Cataloge and low and behold Windowblides 3 is featured write acrossed the top. This should be good for Stardock.

Thanks! Yea, the traffic has been incredible. That Microsoft link accounts for a full 8% of Stardock's web traffic (in visitors). 8% may not sound like much but when you're talking about millions of monthly visitors, that's a huge chunk.

Ha, look at that. I've had that thing on my start menu for weeks but never even bothered to check out what it was about... I was just going to ask "What the Windows Catalog?" when I decided if I had it too... low and behold, s if it couldn't stand out any more, right on top of the programs menu. !
All right, haven't even checked it out yet. Guess I'll do that...

Hey, I have huge chunks missing. I'm pretty sure I typed it... Let me repost that last one:

Cool, I just check it out. And WB3 is even listed before Office XP and Visio 2002, both Microsoft products. Awsome. Congratulations Stardock, I'm happy for you guys.
Out of curiosity, how many trial version of WB is being downloaded today, compared to a normal day?

At least we now know that MS is not against a product that turns Window boxes in a Mac.

Paxx: we don't really have a good way to trackthat right now. But traffic is definitely heavier.
